Pac fans hate muhammad ali

The Philippine government reportedly paid $10 million to host the Ali-Frazier fight in Manila. That is a huge amount at that time especially if you consider the fact that the Philippines is a 3rd world country. The Filipinos won't waste that amount to watch a fighter they hate.

You have to remember that there was no internet at that time so Ali's antics and racist remarks did not reach that part of the world. I am sure that had the Filipinos at that time been aware of Ali's real colour (pun intended), then they would not have supported him.

 

How was being a racist **** funny?

 

Why do people fall for threads like this?

 

I am a Pacfan and i don't hate Ali since he fought before my time and when i was still very young. We never experienced his attitude and only read about them. But we have read his accomplishments and seen his old fights on TV.

 

being racist isn't funny?:huh

anyways i agree with the thread starter, pac fans are hitler fans FACT:deal

 

Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier were treated by Filipinos like rock stars, when they arrived in the Philippines for "Thrilla In Manila".

The Philippine president spared no expense, and wanted to treat them like royalty.

They dedicated the newest and most modern and biggest shopping mall in the Philipppines at that time, the mid 1970's, to Muhammad Ali, just days before "Thrilla"

It's named the Muhammad Ali Mall or "Ali Mall".

It's still standing today.

You can check it out on the internet.

 

Always been here, just using alts to say what they really feel.:verysad

 

What good boxers in their Prime has Pac defeated?

 

So your saying Ali was racist.

Guess nobody told Angelo Dundee that.

Get a clue idiot.

 

The Philippines loved Ali because they A) love flamboyant, big personalities and B) the love attractive faces. Ali was all that and then some.

 

I heard that the division of fanbase inside the Araneta Coliseum (site of the fight) was close to 50/50, because a lot of the older fans liked Frazier better because he was an outspoken yet humble, quiet religious man who would sing Christian praise songs during press conferences.

Some of the older ones thought that the young Clay/Ali talked trash a bit too much.

But they didnt hate him.

It was a pick'em fight and they chose the boxer who most closely resembled their personality more.

Ali was a hit among the general population though.

Darling of the press.

 

Ts you ****ing ******.

 

Pac fans like Ali. Pac fans don't like douchebag copycats.

 

alts invasion. mind posting this again under your older self?

 

I think the 50/50 crowd had more to do with Gambling than religion or the personalities of the fighters. People cheered for there wallet not the fighters.

Thats something that wasn't discussed on the Documentary. I don't know why? Gambling and Boxing has always been connected. Still is thats why Vegas is the capitol of boxing.
